If you're playing Morde you can actually farm both wraith camps + mid farm.

Speaking of Talon, it had me wondering a bit: when would you pick him? I mean, there are obvious match-ups were he fares well (Morgana, Anivia, Lux, etc.), but when speaking team comp-wise?

Since he's an assassin, you could pair him with Diana or Katarina top and get an initiator as jungler or support for a balls-out diving/burst teamfight comp, I guess, but those seem pretty fragile to me (though something like Diana/Talon/Noc/Leona/ADC would be ballsy). He'd feel awkward with a standard bruiser top (Olaf, Irelia, etc.) because then you'd lack magic damage and that'd make the late game even more risky.

Since he's all physical damage and has no survivability like other assassins (Katarina shunpo out, or just the %reduced damage, Diana's shield and slow, QR to creeps, similar mechanics for Akali, Leblanc's "return" on W, etc.) he just seems a lot more difficult to fit in a correctly thought out composition to me, even without taking into account all the "X does that job better than him" argument.
Which makes me sad since I like him more (well I like Kat almost as much but I can't be a hipster anymore even if she was my first regularly played champ ).

Is picking up an early Kage's and letting it sit there worth it anymore?

EUW seems down. Or at least, I'm stuck at the login screen, loading but without queue or anything popping.

Do you take points in R when you can, or do you just rush for max level Q and E?

I want to try Jayce, but I'll wait until the item overhaul to see what happens.

I was looking at Jayce recently and I'm surprised that people are going Q>E and not Q>W. I'd love for somebody to explain why.

Increased levels to Acceleration gate don't increase the damage buff to Shock Blast and the movespeed buff is small compared to the 30% with level 1. In comparison, Hyper Charge gets a huge boost with levels, 15% more damage for each of the 3 hits and 2 secs less cooldown with no increased mana cost, making it your most mana efficient poke very quickly.

Thundering Blow only gets a 3% max HP bonus per level with no flat damage increase anymore, while Lightning Field gets 70 bonus damage on an AoE per level. In order for Thundering Blow to give 70 bonus damage per level, the target would have to have about 2400 HP, which is not likely in the early/mid game. Further, levelling W increases the passive mana sustain in hammer form, while Thundering Blows knockback and stun never get any better.

What's the logic behind Q>E?
